Sarah, your golden opportunity to prove you really are a feminist..
as you self-described in your Katie Couric interview.

Prove you're a feminist by giving a shout-out of praise on the Tea Party tour for the Lilly Ledbetter Act signed into law by President Obama last year. Equal pay for women is about as pro-women as it gets.

When you're speaking to the crowd Sarah, give this a shout out a try..

"All the ladies in the crowd say hey, for equal pay!"

There will be plenty of elderly white women who would love a shout out for equality at every Tea Party rally stop on your tour.

Cuz Sarah, we all know that a real feminist like you supports equal pay for ALL women right?

Show the people that when you say you are a feminist, you mean it. The Lilly Ledbetter Act is perhaps one of the most important pieces of legislation guaranteeing women equal pay.

Women in America earn $.75 for every dollar earned by a man. But I'm sure you knew that, Sarah. The Lilly Ledbetter Act is a very serious law that will correct this 'discrepancy'.

That 'discrepancy' violates the human rights of women. Paying a woman less for the same work that a man does is oppressive and wrong.

Sarah, you describe yourself as a feminist. Regarding women's right, President Obama signed into law one of the most important laws protecting a woman's right to equal pay. That's feminism.

So give a shout-out to the mostly elderly white ladies on the Tea Party tour. Remind them that the Lilly Ledbetter Act is now protecting their right to earn equal pay.
